[PADA: Some of our devotee reporters there said, there were not enough busses, or mostly no busses, and little or no government facility was made for supplying food and water to these refugees. Many people had little children and babies they were carrying on their backs, and they had to walk hundreds of miles to get back to their villages. Of course, if they have the virus, they now brought the virus with them far and wide all over the place, including to their villages.  

If they wanted to lock people down to keep them isolated, just the opposite happened, hundreds of thousands of these people were packed like sardines into busses and trucks and instead of sheltering in place, they were moving maybe millions of people all over the place. 

One of our reporters said that people told him they had not eaten in 5 days. Yep, India is still a place where the little guys are squeezed when there is a problem. A lot of us simply don't realize how heavy karma is. If we don't make the effort to become Krishna conscious now, we have to come back and experience all these problems over and over. 

Simply taking birth in India is not sufficient in itself to save us. We need to take the effort to connect with Krishna, or we come back to be packed like sardines into a bus, be forced to walk hundreds of miles, maybe get a bad virus, and so on and so forth. This should be a wake up call, and that is why Krishna arranges all these events, He is trying to wake us up. ys pd]
